attaching a MP-201 to a pedalboard?

Post by Bramble » Thu Jan 27, 2011 1:35 am

Hi, I didn't see anything around this posted - sorry if I missed the answer. I want to attach my MP-201 to my pedalboard, preferably using velcro, but the shape of the thing makes it difficult. Someone out there must have figured out a good method for this?

Thanks in advance ~~

I have mine on the left edge of a PedalTrain PT2 and iirc, I pulled off the rubber feet and used the provided heavy duty Velcro in two strips across. It's secure and can be lifted up / turned 90 degrees but given the right (wrong) circumstances it will pull away from the board, at least partially.

Great - thanks! I thought the amount of area to attach velcro wouldn't be sufficient, but it looks like it is.

...and to tell you the truth it took a fair bit of effort to pry it off the board for this pic...

I bought the PedalTrain just recently so used the Velcro that came with it but the 'heavy duty' stuff that your local Home Improvement store is likely to sell will work just fine.

Glad to see it attatches to a Pedaltrain :) I'd go for industrial strength velcro, or perhaps even dual lock... It'll be impossible to move, but it'll be safe!

I actually have a Pedaltrain Jr on the way to accompany my Pro, and I like the idea of using a MP-201 on it. Would it fit? I've searched all over the product information for dimensions but couldn't find anything. A Jr is 17x12.5 inches :)
